When a man loves a woman was my parents song. So it made my mom more sad than when she realized neither of her kids would be well adjusted

Thanks for posting this, I didn't think to do so when I saw it. I found out about him a decade ago when we were going through my friend's dad's cassette collection. Zydeco was both ironically hilarious to me and catchy, but I do genuinely enjoy it and it is a bummer to hear this.
